Hello, Adrasteius?
[He copies the name very carefully, as his attempts to spell it on his own would be hopeless.]
This is Matthias. I hope I’m not bothering you. I wanted to talk to you about something. It’s nothing urgent, I just
[Need to talk to somebody sounds too small and vulnerable for his tastes.]
I have some questions.

[ get with the times, buddy. even a guy with nigh-unlimited fuckmoney funds can appreciate a site that promises free 2 day shipping. ]
Only if you aren't trying.
It doesn't have to be sentimental and poignant to be a gift
I'm sure you can come up with something

[Adra lives a pretty quiet life, honestly. He's just watering flowers when he gets this message--that's why it's a moment before he responds, because he has to put the can down and take off his gardening gloves.]
It's no bother.
Tell me what's on your mind.

[Shuu strikes him as kind of a goth motherfucker, so a couple days later he will find--in a black, magically chilled box that's wrapped with dark blue paper covered with a silver fleur-de-lys pattern--a series of small cakes that look like this. Dark chocolate shells; gold leaf; fruits. There's creamy layers of mousse and sponge cake inside.
The attached card reads: Happy birthday, buddy.
Adra knocked and left the package, seeing as how the last time he pushed his way into Shuu's place with desserts didn't actually end that well.]

This place is rife with magic. I feel it suffusing the air when I walk around--and obviously it's the engine behind our transformations.
I've noticed that my ice magic is a little more intense during the Cordis cycle. Perhaps, for others, it's actually granting them some elemental power.
That's probably what's happening to you.
[A moment later, as he thinks of Mat's witch hunting past, and his obvious discomfort with the supernatural.]
Are you nervous?

[So it is another effect of the moons. That's why he hasn't been able to reproduce that spark since. But now the red moon hangs in the sky again.]
A little. It isn't very strong, it's like lighting a match. But flame can spread fast.
The one time it happened, it was by accident, and I set my roommate's shirt on fire. I don't want somebody to get hurt because I don't understand how this works.
[It. This. He doesn't know how else to describe what he can do, and perhaps he is afraid to name it.]

[ oh, it’s nice. a solid 8.5/10, after the penalty for calling him buddy. it seems that’s officially a ‘friend’ score. sure, it takes a full on week for him to follow up, but at least he does: ]
Wow
You actually did something.
